“I don’t know who my parents are... I was left in the hospital. So Shen Lin had no parents and was adopted by welfare homes. It is normal for her to treat me like her enemy. After all, I took up fifteen years of her life.” Shen Qianshu’s feelings towards Shen Lin had always been filled with guilt.

If Shen Lin was not so aggressive, she thought that she would live hidden in Shen Lin’s shadow for her entire life and consistently feel guilty towards her.

“Qianshu, it isn’t your fault.”

“In this world, nothing is absolutely right or wrong.”

“The Shen Family cannot chase you out of the house just because they realized you aren’t their biological child. After all, you have been calling Mr. and Mrs. Shen your dad and mum for fifteen years. The relationship built in fifteen years is deeper than the one with a daughter who had just appeared.” Time was needed to foster and maintain relationships between humans.

“At the start, it was so,” Shen Qianshu said. “When Shen Lin just returned to the Shen Family, mum and dad treated me very well just as before. They always worried that I would overthink, and they constantly told me that even if Shen Lin was back, they still loved me and wanted me to get along well with Shen Lin. Whenever we had some conflicts, mum and dad would stand on my side. But... as the days went by, different relations are bound to have different treatments.”

Shen Qianshu did not wish to mention whatever that had happened during that period of time. But even if she did not mention them, Li Zhiyuan could roughly make a guess.

A fifteen-year-old teen girl who lived in hardship from a young age had returned to a wealthy family. Seeing a girl who took up her spot in her family, she was bound to treat her like an enemy. It was natural of her to be so brutally cynical... and want to claim territory by driving Qianshu away.

Shen Lin definitely did something overboard to Shen Qianshu.

Shen Qianshu’s guilt towards her was held in.

Over the years, the heart of her parents became biased.

“My mum and dad... loved me a lot since I was young.” Shen Qianshu thought of her parents from the Shen Family and was very disheartened. In this life, her biggest regret was being unable to be their daughter. “It’s such a pity that I can’t be their daughter for life.”

“Lin Xuan and you grew up together?”

Shen Qianshu nodded.

Li Zhiyuan could imagine everything that happened into a big show. He felt sorry for her.

Shen Qianshu was not at fault, yet Shen Lin did not think so.

She did not wish to mention whatever that had happened between her and Lin Xuan, and Li Zhiyuan did not probe further. He was not foolish to the extent of asking about Tong Hua.

“Li Zhiyuan, do you like me?”

Li Zhiyuan froze. He was a little shocked.

“Yeah, I’m trying to woo you.”

“Give up on that. They were right. I was pregnant when I was eighteen. I had a child, but he didn’t survive. I adopted Tong Hua, and the heart in his body belonged to my son,” Shen Qianshu said calmly. “I grew up in the Shen Family since I was young, so I know some stuff. Your parents will never accept a person like me who is powerless and even had a child once. So, you don’t have to try so painstakingly to impress me. There’s no point in that .”

Li Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Qianshu, dating is a thing between two people. Leave the issue of my parents to me. I will settle that. You considered about my parents, so do you like me a little too?”

“You’re overthinking,” Shen Qianshu looked at him and said. “I enjoy being friends with you, but I have no feelings. I gave all my love to Tong Hua. I won’t fall in love easily, and I don’t want my friend to be disappointed. I also don’t wish to deal with your complicated family, and I don’t want my child to be talked about by your parents. It’s this simple.”

She never reinvents the wheel.

That was her personality.

The Paris from seven years ago was really such a mistake.

Yet it was a beautiful mistake.

If it was not for that nightmarish night, those moments would have been great
